What is FoodCorps?

FoodCorps is a nationwide effort to connect kids to healthy food in schools. HCCA hosts a FoodCorps Service Member each year who teaches kids about what healthy food is and where it comes from, builds and tends school gardens along with students, and works to bring high-quality local food into public school cafeterias.
